Picked up a message from Madgetts cycles on my 'phone today - my Parkes lightweight frame has been painted and is ready for collection :smile:.

A bit early to post, but it's my birthday tomorrow and I had been wondering how to spend the day.
Will post photo's as I get on with the build.

Made a start on assembly - Feel better about the green now the wheels are on:

I tried a modern stem and it just didn't look right, found a nice GB girder on eBay and much happier with the look of that (several small parcels have arrived today:wahhey:
